Willing in recording to embrace policy (8)
I believe the answer is:
inclined
'willing' is the definition.
('inclined' can be similar in meaning to 'willing')
'in recording to embrace policy' is the wordplay.
'recording' becomes 'cd' (CD is an example**).
'to embrace' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'policy' becomes 'line' (I've seen this before).
'cd' enclosing 'line' is 'clined'.
'in'+'clined'='INCLINED'
(Other definitions for inclined that I've seen before include "Had a tendency" , "Disposed (towards); leaning" , "Tending" , "Apt - not on the level" , "Sloping - likely" .)
